postgresql - 从 PostgreSQL 数据库中检索评论

Question

我正在 Postgres 数据库上运行一个项目，需要检索数据库中列上的注释以用作表标题等。我已经看到有几个内置函数（pg_description和col_description），但我无法找到有关如何使用它们的示例，并且使用它们被证明是徒劳的。

所以我想知道以前是否有人能够做到这一点，如果可以，怎么做？

SELECT c.table_schema,c.table_name,c.column_name,pgd.description
FROM pg_catalog.pg_statio_all_tables as st
  inner join pg_catalog.pg_description pgd on (pgd.objoid=st.relid)
  inner join information_schema.columns c on (pgd.objsubid=c.ordinal_position
    and  c.table_schema=st.schemaname and c.table_name=st.relname);

这一切都由oid工作，

mat=> SELECT c.oid FROM pg_catalog.pg_class c WHERE c.relname = 'customers';
  oid  
-------
 23208
(1 row)

现在，我有那个表的 oid，所以我可以问：

mat=> select pg_catalog.obj_description(23208);
  obj_description  
-------------------
 Customers
(1 row)

然后，我可以询问第四列的描述：

mat=> select pg_catalog.col_description(23208,4);
             col_description             
-----------------------------------------
 Customer codes, CHS, FACTPOST, POWER...
(1 row)

如果您想知道在执行或psql时确实运行了哪些查询，只需使用.\dt+\d+ customers-E

小心模式，这段代码认为它们：

SELECT
    cols.column_name, (
        SELECT
            pg_catalog.col_description(c.oid, cols.ordinal_position::int)
        FROM
            pg_catalog.pg_class c
        WHERE
            c.oid = (SELECT ('"' || cols.table_name || '"')::regclass::oid)
            AND c.relname = cols.table_name
    ) AS column_comment
FROM
    information_schema.columns cols
WHERE
    cols.table_catalog    = 'your_database'
    AND cols.table_name   = 'your_table'
    AND cols.table_schema = 'your_schema';

这里有很多答案，但没有一个像我希望的那样简单。因此，基于以前的答案和当前的 postgres 9.4，我创建了这个查询：

SELECT 
    obj_description(format('%s.%s',isc.table_schema,isc.table_name)::regclass::oid, 'pg_class') as table_description,
    pg_catalog.col_description(format('%s.%s',isc.table_schema,isc.table_name)::regclass::oid,isc.ordinal_position) as column_description
FROM
    information_schema.columns isc

它获取表和列描述，没有任何令人困惑的连接和丑陋的字符串连接。

这适用于我使用 PostBooks 3.2.2 DB：

select cols.column_name,
(select pg_catalog.obj_description(oid) from pg_catalog.pg_class c where c.relname=cols.table_name) as table_comment
,(select pg_catalog.col_description(oid,cols.ordinal_position::int) from pg_catalog.pg_class c where c.relname=cols.table_name) as column_comment
from information_schema.columns cols
where cols.table_catalog='postbooks' and cols.table_name='apapply'

对其他答案之一稍作更改，它只会为您提供对其有评论的列，这将为您提供所有列，无论它们是否有评论。

select c.table_schema, st.relname as TableName, c.column_name, 
pgd.description
from pg_catalog.pg_statio_all_tables as st
inner join information_schema.columns c
on c.table_schema = st.schemaname
and c.table_name = st.relname
left join pg_catalog.pg_description pgd
on pgd.objoid=st.relid
and pgd.objsubid=c.ordinal_position
where st.relname = 'YourTableName';

Enhance for @Nick and @mat suggestions: use
SELECT obj_description('schemaName.tableName'::regclass, 'pg_class'); when you have string name (not oid).

To avoid to remember 'pg_class' parameter, and to avoid ugly concatenations at the function calls, as (tname||'.'||schema)::regclass, an useful overload for obj_description:

  CREATE FUNCTION obj_description(
      p_rname text, p_schema text DEFAULT NULL, 
      p_catalname text DEFAULT 'pg_class'
  ) RETURNS text AS $f$
     SELECT obj_description((CASE 
        WHEN strpos($1, '.')>0 OR $2 IS NULL OR $2='' THEN $1
        ELSE $2||'.'||$1
     END)::regclass, $3);
  $f$ LANGUAGE SQL IMMUTABLE;
 -- USAGE: obj_description('mytable') 
 --        SELECT obj_description('s.t'); 
 -- PS: obj_description('s.t', 'otherschema') is a syntax error, 
 --     but not generates exception: returns the same as ('s.t')

Now is easy to use, because the table name (rname parameter) is a varchar and can be expressed with a separated field for schema name, as in the main tables and queries.

如果您只需要comments在其他数据中显示您的列，您还可以使用：

这个答案有点晚了，但它出现在我为研究这个问题所做的谷歌搜索中。我们只需要表格描述，但列的方法是相同的。列描述也在 pg_description 表中，由 objoid 引用。

添加此视图：


CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW our_tables AS 
 SELECT c.oid, n.nspname AS schemaname, c.relname AS tablename, d.description,
   pg_get_userbyid(c.relowner) AS tableowner, t.spcname AS "tablespace", 
   c.relhasindex AS hasindexes, c.relhasrules AS hasrules, c.reltriggers > 0 AS hastriggers
   FROM pg_class c
   LEFT JOIN pg_namespace n ON n.oid = c.relnamespace
   LEFT JOIN pg_tablespace t ON t.oid = c.reltablespace
   LEFT JOIN pg_description d ON c.oid = d.objoid
  WHERE c.relkind = 'r'::"char";

ALTER TABLE our_tables OWNER TO postgres;
GRANT SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE, REFERENCES, TRIGGER ON TABLE our_tables TO postgres;
GRANT SELECT ON TABLE our_tables TO public;

然后运行：

SELECT tablename, description FROM our_tables WHERE schemaname = 'public'

该视图是 pg_tables 视图的修改版本，它添加在描述列中。您还可以随意使用视图定义以使其成为单个查询。

我访问了这样的表格评论：

select c.relname table_name, pg_catalog.obj_description(c.oid) as comment from pg_catalog.pg_class c where c.relname = 'table_name';

因此，专栏评论：

SELECT c.column_name, pgd.description FROM pg_catalog.pg_statio_all_tables as st inner join pg_catalog.pg_description pgd on (pgd.objoid=st.relid) inner join information_schema.columns c on (pgd.objsubid=c.ordinal_position and c.table_schema=st.schemaname and c.table_name=st.relname and c.table_name = 'table_name' and c.table_schema = 'public');

我刚刚在这里找到了这个。它将为您提供一个特定表上的所有类型的元数据（类型、默认值、非空标志、长度、注释、外键名称、主键名称）。它似乎运作良好。

SELECT pg_tables.tablename, pg_attribute.attname AS field, 
    format_type(pg_attribute.atttypid, NULL) AS "type", 
    pg_attribute.atttypmod AS len,
    (SELECT col_description(pg_attribute.attrelid, 
            pg_attribute.attnum)) AS comment, 
    CASE pg_attribute.attnotnull 
        WHEN false THEN 1  ELSE 0  
    END AS "notnull", 
    pg_constraint.conname AS "key", pc2.conname AS ckey, 
    (SELECT pg_attrdef.adsrc FROM pg_attrdef 
        WHERE pg_attrdef.adrelid = pg_class.oid 
        AND pg_attrdef.adnum = pg_attribute.attnum) AS def 
FROM pg_tables, pg_class

    AND pg_attribute.attnum > 0 
LEFT JOIN pg_constraint ON pg_constraint.contype = 'p'::"char" 
    AND pg_constraint.conrelid = pg_class.oid AND
    (pg_attribute.attnum = ANY (pg_constraint.conkey)) 
LEFT JOIN pg_constraint AS pc2 ON pc2.contype = 'f'::"char"

上个月我问了一个关于 Postgresql 评论的类似问题。如果你深入研究，你会在我的博客上看到一些 Perl 代码，它可以自动提取评论的过程。

要提取表的列名，可以使用如下内容：

select
     a.attname  as "colname"
    ,a.attrelid as "tableoid"
    ,a.attnum   as "columnoid"
from
    pg_catalog.pg_attribute a
    inner join pg_catalog.pg_class c on a.attrelid = c.oid
where
        c.relname = 'mytable' -- better to use a placeholder
    and a.attnum > 0
    and a.attisdropped is false
    and pg_catalog.pg_table_is_visible(c.oid)
order by a.attnum

然后，您可以使用 tableoid、columnoid 元组来提取每列的注释（请参阅我的问题）。

好的，所以我解决了这个问题......

选择 col_description（表 id，列号）...

即：选择 col_description(36698,2);

那行得通，但是有没有更简单的方法可以做到这一点，可能会在所有列上添加所有注释并使用表名而不是 oid？

要显示所有表的所有列的注释：

SELECT
    cols.table_name,
    cols.column_name, (
    SELECT
        pg_catalog.col_description(c.oid, cols.ordinal_position::int)
    FROM
        pg_catalog.pg_class c
    WHERE
            c.oid = (SELECT ('"' || cols.table_name || '"')::regclass::oid)
      AND c.relname = cols.table_name
) AS column_comment
FROM
    information_schema.columns cols
WHERE
  cols.table_name   IN (SELECT cols.table_name FROM information_schema.columns)
  AND cols.table_catalog = 'your_database_name'
  AND cols.table_schema = 'your_schema_name';

您需要在任何架构/目录/数据库之外执行此查询

此查询基于此问题中的另一个答案，该答案仅显示来自一个表的评论

扩展@amxy 提供的响应；我发现添加模式过滤器在某些环境中会有所帮助。正如我发现@amxy 的解决方案在我通过模式过滤器添加之前不起作用

SELECT

pg_attribute.attname AS field,
format_type(pg_attribute.atttypid, NULL) AS "type",

CASE pg_attribute.attnotnull
    WHEN FALSE THEN 1
    ELSE 0
END AS "notnull",
pg_constraint.conname AS "key", pc2.conname AS ckey,
(
SELECT pg_attrdef.adsrc
